In your opinion.....

What's the strongest weapon line of tech to follow to you? I feel the game becomes redundant as I don't see anything better than beams or phasers and torpedoes. Do you?

Things like logistics are imperative that you tech up in. The cost of troops without it is ridiculously high. This is another redundant.

Getting the Merchants Guild is another imperative as it makes your flow of cash almost twice as big as before.

I don't make anything else more important than these every game and I'm hard pressed to lose a game so far. I have the best income with the best weapons and the cheapest soldiers. Everything else just plays 2nd fiddle to these. How about you?

In my opinion the game needs randomness in breakthroughs in science discoveries. From my understanding in our own world most scientific discoveries were by chance like soap I think is one. There's a handful like the light bulb I guess but so many things were discovered accidentally.

There should just be selection boxes like WEAPONS and you get pot luck on the weapon you might get. Once you do get it though you can more precisely research it on rails with the normal either or to finishing it.

Have several things per category like Missles, Bombers, Fighters, Army upgrades. Don't just have a hand picked tech screen that's so easy to determine the path one gets to take. Make it a guessing game like Alpha Centauri did it. Don't make it if I click this I'm guaranteed to get this at the end of a certain amount of time. Life is about chance and random, nothing is guaranteed except paying taxes and death. [:'(] Even a person in perfect health can get cancer.
